Bonucci made a mistake over Kean comments, insists Sarri

Maurizio Sarri says Leonardo Bonucci's comments in the aftermath of alleged abuse towards Moise Kean by Cagliari supporters were a "mistake" but insists the Juventus defender is "not racist".

Kean's fine display in his side's 2-0 Serie A win against Cagliari on Tuesday was overshadowed by allegations that the 19-year-old, who scored Juve's second goal, was the target of racist taunts.

The Italy international celebrated his late strike in front of Cagliari's supporters, and team-mate Bonucci said after the game that Kean should take 50 per cent of the blame for the incident because he incited the home crowd.

Defender Bonucci later clarified his remarks via social media, saying that he was "too hasty" in expressing his thoughts and "firmly condemned racism".
